Noting that Tuesday's little
Ptory about the "B" team's Friday
night was unceremoniously lopped
off just as it was under way, we'll
tell you the rest of it.
Remember, the team had just
been delayed in starting, having
waited an extra half hour until
4:15 Friday afternoon, to start for
Tarkio and the basketball game
there. Then they received the spe
cial delivery letter which said the
game would be played at 7:30 in
stead of eight because there was
another game, to be played after
ward. To go on from there:
They started out from Lincoln,
and made it over the slippery
roads to Auburn, which is across
the Missouri river from Tarkio
However, there they learned the
bottom had fallen out of a river
bed road they were to take out of
Auburn. There wag nothing else
to do except travel back north
a frigid forty miles to Nebraska
City and cross the river there.
Coach Chili Armstrong called
Tarkio officials, and told them
about the team's plight, so the
other game started at 7:30. It was
8:15 when the Huskers finally
rolled into town, and when they
did play, they lost to a slick Tarkio
team 60-34.
Then came the trip back. They
started out immediately after the
game in weather which felt about
as cold as there has been all win
ter. The faithful band made it to
Lincoln safe and sound, but it was
four o'clock Saturday morning
when they did get here.
Ralph Miller was cooled off a
little Monday night. . . .he got one
point less against Iowa State than
against the Huskers all of
which makes 39 points in his last
two games the KU junior now
has 102 points in 8 games, and
Jimmy McNatt, whom everyone
thought had scoring honors sewed
up, has 104 high scoring sopho
mores were Sid Held and Jack
Horacek of K-State they both
finished with 68 apiece in ten
games.
One of the men to watch here
when Oklahoma's track team
comes is Bill Lyda, sophomore....
Lyda does everything in the way
of running from the sprints to the
two-mile, and is good In every
event. . . .he was state champion in
the 220, 440 and 880 two years
ago in Oklahoma. .. .then Orville
Matthews, who played some foot
ball here last November, will be
running he still holds the 100
and 220 records in Soonerland
high school competition. .. .and if
we're not mistaken he turned in
a century mark of 9.6 seconds. . . .
he'll run the 60, and maybe the
low hurdles here.
Ed Hruby, who did some sprint
ing at Grand Island high two or
three years back, is a sophomore
prospect at Iowa State .... Roy
Cochran, Bob Simmons' old Indi
ana hurdle rival, is no slouch in
the 440.... all Mr. Cochran did
Monday was run the quarter in
:48.3 against Notre Dame.... that
cut six-tenths of a second off Ray
F.llenwood's world's indoor record
.... For comparative purposes,
Bob Simmons' latest exhibition
mark is :49.1....a race with both
Simmons and Cochran entered
should be some affair.

Strong Oklahoma team
threatens Cornhusker
indoor track crew
Bob Simmons. Husker onartpr
mile ace. will be seen in nnother
440 exhibtion Saturday night as
ine uiuanoma track meet Here, as
he attempts to break 49 seconds in
that event. Simmons ran the quar
ter in :4tf.o two weeks ago, and
clipped off four-tenths of a second
from that mark last week. Don
Morris, freshman from Scottsbluff
win again pace him.
Husker coach Ed Weir fears the
Oklahoma team, which has four
iirst place winners back from the
team which beat the Huskers 54
to 50 here last year, in addition to
a freshman crew which beat a star
studded Husker frosh team in last
year's postal meet.
Bill Lyda had a 1:58.9 mark in
the half mile last year which was
better than that of Harold Brooks,
while Orv Matthews' 9.7 seconds in
the century was better than Gene
Littler could do.
Oral Hairston had a better time
than Bill Smutz in the outdoor
lows and tied him in the highs,
while Flippe did 5-11 to win the
high jump in that meet. Dick
Smethers, also a frosh then, did a
10:18.2 two-mile.
Saturday's meet will be the first
and only one for the Sooners be
fore the Big Six championships
at Kansas City next week end.
However, Ray Gahan, half miler
and miler; Harry Fender, vaulter;
Jack Morris, high hurdler, and low
hurdler Jones, who won firsts last
year, are back.
Morris, who is conference indoor
hurdles champion, has influenza
and may not make the trip. Coach
John Jacobs is in the hospital as
the result of an appendectomy,
and cannot make the trip, while
Smethers, the distance man, also
has the flu.
Edsel Wibbels did 49-3 U in shot
put practice this week, and the big
tunior should come thru with a
victory in the weight event this
week end.
ATO's win
League one
over Delts
Alpha Tau Omega beat Delta
Tau Delta in a tight game, 7-6 last
night as the ATO's became the
second "A" team to clinch a cham
pionship. The win gave them the
pennant in League 2, as Roy
Petsch, who has paced the team
all season, scored four points.
Other games in that league are
the Phi Sigma Kappa-Beta Sig
tilt, and the Acacia-Zeta Beta Tau
game.
League 4 also finishes, as the
Betas, present league leaders, face
the Sigma Nu's. The Beta's, vic
torious over the Sig Eps Tuesday
night, are favored to win. The Sig
Eps, who have lost but one game,
play the strong Thi Gam team.
Alpha Gamma Rho has already
won the League 1 championship,
while Farm House and Phi Delta
Theta will settle the title in
League 3 by a playoff game. Semi
final and final championship
games will be next week.
Reichart states
Americans eating
more cheese
Can it be the cheese? Whatever
the reason, Americans are con
suming almost one-and-one-half
pounds more cheese per person,
according to Prof. E. L. Reichart
of the University dairy husbandry
department. In recent years the
consumption per person has been
about four pounds a year, but it
has increased to almost five and
one-half pounds.
The variety most generally
available in Nebraska is probably
cottage cheese. It may be served
frequently, and to prevent a
monotonous appearance chives,
nuts, chopped onion, pineapple, pi
mento, or celery may be added.
Such additions will vary the fla
vors as well as the appearance.
Since Saint Patrick's day is bo
near, a suggestion for your special
Saint Patrick's day dinner might
be seme cottage cheese in some
lime jello shaped in rings or in
dividual molds, whichever you
would prefer. Garnish the molds
with lettuce and dressing and the
finished product will enhance the

Five school:
c
in conference
swim meet
AMES, Iowa, Feb. 27. Five of
the schools of the Big Six con
ference have signified that they
will enter teams in the Big Six
meet at the varsity pool, Iowa
State College Friday and Satur
day.
This year's meet will have one
of the fastest fields in its 12 year
history. To date all but one record
has been bettered in dual com
petition. Only the 200 yard breast
stroke mark, held by George
Haldeman of Iowa State, has not
been bettered.
Iowa State is the defending
champion, having won the meet
for the past 2 years. All told the
Cyclones have won the crown un
disputedly six times and tied with
Nebraska twice in the 11 previous
meets.
Worden defends title.
Returning champions are Ralph
Worden, Nebraska, diving; Capt.
Eugene Armstrong, Iowa State,
150 yard back stroke; Roger
Adams, Iowa State, 50 and 100
yard free styles.
Already Adams has bettered the
present conference marks in both
100 and 60 yard free styles.
Against Texas A. & M. he swam
the 60 in :29.5 and the 100 in :54.1,
which bettered the present Big
Six record by .1 second.
The Iowa State relay teams
have bettered the marks in both
the 300 yard medley and the 400
Cyclones will have to swim at
their best to beat the Kansas State
400 yard relay team. The Kan
sans have an all-sophomore team
that has bettered the present
mark in almost every meet this
year.
Millions of times a d
people the world over enjoy
a happy minute with ice-cold
Coca-Cola. They like its clean
taste and the after-sense of re
freshment that follows. Thus
the pause that refreshes with
ice-cold Coca-Cola is Amer
ica's favorite moment.
